An ordinary schoolboy sent a Christmas gift to an unknown poor girl in the Philippines, which took place in a school. At that time, Tyler Wolfe was just 7 years old. He could hardly have imagined that many years later, by chance, that same girl would become his wife.

Tyler himself had no idea who would receive his gift box. Following the school’s rules for the activity, each student picked a gift, wrapped it, and brought it to the common room. Afterward, the gifts were sent through the mail.

Tyler’s gift ended up going to Joan Marchand, who grew up in a rather poor family. A package from a distant country was a significant event for her.

Eleven years later, a more mature Tyler noticed that an unknown girl had sent him a friend request on a social network. He initially declined the request, but the girl sent another one.

He decided, perhaps it’s a friend of a friend. Did I ever think about that gift? I didn’t even remember it,” said Wolfe.

A few days later, the girl messaged Tyler and attached her childhood photo with the gift. The guy was astonished and immediately accepted Joanna’s offer to visit her.

When they met, Tyler realized how much he loved Joanna. A few months later, they started dating, and three years later, they got married. This is how a childhood decision profoundly changed the lives of two people for the better.
